All that Jazz!

Today was the group presentation, and my group's topic is Jazz. My group got to perform it second, right after James's group whom I am really pissed at for stealing the background for the powerpoint slides from me. Throughout all of the groups who have performed, I think our group was the best because we actually prepared for this presentation properly and each of us have been familiarized with the topics, thus enabling every member of our group to answer the questions. As to say, amongst all of the groups, I'm assured that our group is the most well-prepared one, thus our results is also the best if compared to the others.
Our group includes information taken from the sources but not directly taken from the source, or also known with the term "copy and paste". We take the information and paraphrase it, and also crosschecking the accuracy of the information with other sources. Aside from facts, we also put visual and audial evidence such as the video of Michael Buble singing a jazz song and me playing a jazz song live in order to demonstrate the example of the specific style of jazz.

These are our teachers' feedbacks:

Mr. Herry - They included many informations, which made the content almost perfect. Aside from that, I also enjoyed some of the animations they have included. However, the postures of some of the group members were not firm. They were trying to point on the pictures when they could have just used the mouse to do that.

Mr. John - Everybody were so collaborative, doing their research with their own role, and they have been able to co-operate well together and together they make a great group. The visual illustration was great, there were videos, songs and even one of the group member played a song. I like seeing that some members of this group uses palm cards, and they also have direct eye contact, demonstrating confidence. The sources were also given, completing one of the best presentations I have ever seen.

Thus in conclusion, I think our group presented really well, but next time perhaps we could improve by using a pointer or a mouse to do the pointing job instead of pointing it directly with our fingers and body movements, which can be distracting. Today, we finished our group presentation assessment and I'm very relieved to know that our group did very well.
